The former Miss World wears a mermaid gown covered with gold bangles in a new ad. Like it?

While Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s latest ad shoot for Kalyan Jewellers hurts our eyes, we were wondering if the mermaid gown she wears covered in gold bangles all over hurt her body as much! The beautiful lady, who is the brand ambassador for the jewellery store impressed us with her previous ads, but this time around we are lost for words and certainly not in a good way to describe her gaudy look!

Ash’s face retains the usual radiant glow, but there’s not much else that we can sing praises about in this shot. We get it that the brand wants to be different and unique with their ads, but with this ‘gold bangle gown’, they’ve gone overboard! We’ve nothing against Aishwarya, but we wonder how this classy and elegant beauty was convinced to wear such a horrendous outfit. The glittery gold luminosity is too much for our eyes. Less could have worked as more in this instance, maybe with something like a gold bangle belt accessorising a plain gown. But, no, they preferred to make it jhatak, which is so unlike the lady herself that we have to wonder, again, why!

While we give a thumbs down to Aishwarya’s attention-seeking ‘garment’, what do you think, BollywoodLifers? Like it? Hate it? Tell us!

The career-oriented superstar makes sure that her li’l bundle of joy is in good hands while she’s away shooting for her high-end commercials

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, the hands-on mother that she is, is learning to strike a fine balance between work and personal life. Since Mrs Bachchan is swamped with endorsements, the one concern that has been gnawing her brains is who will take care of Aaradhya Bachchan while she’s not around, as the Bachchan family is super busy most of the time and every member has their own work commitments. And Ash has now found a solution to this dilemma, and who better than your immediate family to take care of your needs and nip your problems in the bud.

So it seems that whenever the former Miss World has to shoot for a commercial, which most of the time takes place in Bandra’s Mehboob studio, she makes it a point to drop her princess at her parents’ place, which is also in Bandra.

Now that Aaradhya is in safe and protective hands, why doesn’t Ash go ahead and sign some films too. That would be a nice thing to do to give her dormant career the much needed boost, no?
